All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

It’s here! The ChainStaff demo has landed, but so did the giant aliens and their brutish minions. Spear, swing, and shoot your way through a transformed version of Earth to save mankind. The demo will be live through Steam Next Fest, so get in your run’n’gun time.

Here’s what you can expect from the demo:

  • Get to grips
    Learn to harness the ChainStaff’s murderous and varied powers in the Tutorial training grounds before taking the fight back to the invading alien scum
  • Beautiful devastation
    Explore ChainStaff’s first level, Sand Spires, and gawk in awe and horror at once scenic views turned to surreal and otherworldly landscapes
  • Dangerous species
    Shoot, stab and spear your way through several types of mutant fiends and catch a glimpse of what to expect from the many enemy variants the Star Spores will bring to the battlefield at full release
  • Bring your best
    Deploy your flesh-ripping arsenal against the first of the game’s many gargantuan bosses, all of which will require precision use of your weaponry to resist and overcome their dreadful attacks
  • Grotesque upgrades
    Your comrades are stranded across the wasteland of the Sand Spires, helpless to resist the Star Spores on their own. You can choose to send them back to base with a rescue for tech upgrades, or feed the alien beast on your head by devouring their organs to make you more powerful.


Be sure to share any gruesome deaths or visceral enemy eliminations in the Mommy’s Best Games Discord.
